“Jimmy Fallon’s house band the Roots didn’t have a warm welcome for Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann when she appeared on the NBC show early Tuesday. As Bachmann strode on to the stage at Fallon’s “Late Night,” the show’s band played a snippet of a 1985 Fishbone song called “Lyin’ Ass Bitch.” The song begins with a distinctive “la la la la la la la la la” refrain — the only words audible before Bachmann, smiling and waving to the audience, sat down.

“Fallon joked on Twitter that Roots bandleader Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson was grounded. The show itself didn’t have any comment.”

Randomly caught that last night, try to catch Fallon for the Legendary Roots Crew when I can, but have no interest in Bachmann. They really put in work on those sandwich and intro tunes. Check for that “Everyday Sunshine” documentary if you are not up on Fishbone.

I noticed it as soon as she came out. Now I am just waiting to see/hear what folks are saying… the old double standard that it is ok to boo the First Lady (I do not care who it is – Democrat or Republican – that is something you simply do not do in my family) but not play an unflattering song for someone simply running in the primaries?
